Chapter 1286: The cold Queen Mother, the diligent Uncle Cao Guo
"Mother's ......"
Outside the imperial city, the housekeeper of the Chu family was crying.
"Niangniang, look at the Chu family, it was made a hell on earth by that Su Shi, if you don't care about it, the Chu family will be extinct......"
This man was crying so hard that it was a headache.
One of the sergeants said, "Why don't you drive away?" ”
The other sergeant shook his head, "He said that he is a relative of the Queen Mother, so it's not easy to do it!" ”
In the end, I asked for instructions, but no one dared to do anything, so I called someone to tell him.
If you encounter trouble, you can throw it directly to Shangguan.
Summer is not bad for Empress Dowager Cao, at least not as cold as winter.
Gao Taotao will let the princesses come over to accompany her from time to time, which can be regarded as filial piety.
It was Zhao Qianyu who came today, and she was accompanying her outside to enjoy a few pots of flowers.
The girl is carefree, with a natural smile on the corner of her mouth, and sometimes leans down, focusing on sniffing the fragrance of flowers; Sometimes he covered his nose and retreated, and the eyebrows and the wings of his nose wrinkled into two words.
- Youth.
"Come on!"
Zhao Qianyu beckoned with joy as if he had found a treasure, and Empress Dowager Cao smiled slightly and walked over slowly.
"This flower is so fragrant!"
Zhao Qianyu pointed to a pot of flowers like a treasure.
The girl's joy is not accompanied by a trace of distraction, which makes people can't help but rejoice.
Those troubles and dullness gradually dissipated, and Empress Dowager Cao leaned over to sniff and praised: "It's refreshing." ”
Zhao Qianyu immediately smiled and said, "I knew that Niangniang would like it." ”
Empress Dowager Cao squinted at her and suddenly stretched out her hand.
Zhao Qianyu subconsciously wanted to hide, but he was not as fast as Empress Dowager Cao.
"There are bees."
Empress Dowager Cao's hand was withdrawn, and a bee was between her fingers.
"Yikes! It's scary. Zhao Qianyu couldn't help but be afraid.
Originally, when she was in the county king's mansion, she and her sisters often played, and bees were not uncommon.
"It hurts to be stung." She looked up, her eyes apologetic.
It's to apologize for the moment of hiding.
This is still a childish girl!
Empress Dowager Cao smiled slightly, let go of her fingers, and the bee that couldn't die anymore fell to the ground.
"This pot of flowers will be sent to Bao'an."
Zhao Qianyu couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, and then hurriedly waved his hand, "No, this flower is so fragrant, keep it for yourself." ”
"Flowers bloom in one season, and they will bloom again next year. When you are old, you can just look at these things, and you can't leave any traces. ”
The days of the harem are lonely, and it is best to maintain an indifferent posture. Once you like something, it's a trace, and you're concerned.
There are too many worries in my heart, and this day will be tormented.
It's better to be light.
Zhao Qianyu responded, and happily told people to be careful.
"The villain sent it over." Ren Shouzhong smiled and went to the bouquet.
The queen loves this princess the most, if she can please her, there will be a lot of benefits in the future!
"Mother."
Someone came, and the people who came stopped talking, Empress Dowager Cao frowned and said: "The old man has been in the palace for many years, what else can he not say to others?" Say! ”
The person who came said: "Niangniang, some people outside say that it is the Chu family of Xiangfu County, and it is your relative......"
Empress Dowager Cao thought for a while, nodded and said, "The Cao family has such a relative, remember that it is indeed in the auspicious talisman." ”
The man breathed a sigh of relief, "What did that man say...... The family that was made by Su Shi was ruined, and he said that he asked you to call the shots. ”
"Broken family?"
Empress Dowager Cao raised her eyes, and a fierce color flashed in her eyes.
Su Shi is going to be unlucky!
The person who came was an attendant who delivered the news, and when he saw this, he couldn't help but mourn for Su Shi for a moment.
"Su Shi ......" Empress Dowager Cao said lightly: "Su Shi knows that he is an extremely cheerful and open-minded person, with a bold temperament, and he disdains sneaky things. ”
Belch!
Why didn't your old man make a statement without investigating clearly?
"The Chu family is in the auspicious talisman, what is Su Shi doing in the auspicious talisman?" Empress Dowager Cao remembered Su Shi's latest poem, and couldn't help but read it silently.
The Great Song Dynasty has ten percent of the cultural lineage, and Su Shi has seventy percent of it!
Ren Shouzhong knew about this matter, "Niangniang, Su Shi is going to Xiangfu to supervise the matter of exempting money." ”
"Exempt money? Let's talk about it. ”
Empress Dowager Cao didn't inquire much about foreign courts, not because she wasn't curious, but she just didn't want to embarrass Zhao Shu.
“…… It is to let the rich pay for exemption from military service, and the DPRK and China will subsidize it more, so that those poor people do not need to serve. ”
"It's a good thing." Empress Dowager Cao turned around with her hand, "The old body used to hear that some people rebelled, and I thought that those people would not die peacefully for no reason, and the only reason must be that they are extremely poor and can't live anymore." Exemption money is a good thing, after the exemption from forced labor, those people do not need to worry about outside affairs, concentrate on farming, good! ”
Zhao Qianyu listened to it on the side, and couldn't help but secretly admire. She learned from Empress Dowager Cao to straighten her body, and then put on a straight face......
But no matter how she learned, she couldn't learn that proud momentum, so she gave up in despair.
"Niangniang, what about the people of the Chu family who are still outside?"
"Chu family......" Empress Dowager Cao did not look back, and said lightly: "Tell them that if there is a grievance, go to Kaifeng Mansion, and if there is no grievance, be honest." It's too noisy, and the old body has a headache. ”
Belch......
Later, the chamberlain appeared outside the gate of the imperial city, and the housekeeper of the Chu family couldn't help but pounce on him happily when he saw it, "Nobleman, what did Niangniang say?" Niangniang is going to kill that Su Shi? ”
Someone on the side laughed: "This is to find a backer!" ”
"I am a relative of the Queen Mother, of course I will take care of it, otherwise there will be no benefit, who wants to marry the Cao family in the future?"
The others were probably ready to watch the excitement, but the waiter said with a straight face: "Niangniang said, if there is a grievance, go to Kaifeng Mansion, if there is no grievance, then don't make a fuss, let Niangniang have a headache." ”
Isn't that right?
Is this an attitude towards relatives?
These words are clearly excusing Su Shi!
If you have a grievance, go to the official, this sounds right, but the last sentence gives the mother a headache, and the taste is not right in an instant.
- Don't make any more fuss, or the mother will have a headache. After the mother has a headache, most of them have to clean up people.
It is rumored that the Queen Mother patrols the night in the palace with a treasure knife in her hand, and kills the thief when she sees it.
Such a mother can't be provoked!
The housekeeper almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, and said in amazement: "This can't be!" Noble people, haven't you listened? ”
The chamberlain said with a straight face: "A certain has been spreading words in the palace for many years, and he has never made a mistake, are you sure of your own words?" ”
This attitude is very cold, and there is a bit of a blunt rejection of people thousands of miles away.
It seems that the Queen Mother doesn't care much about this relative!
"Why?"
The housekeeper said angrily: "Then Su Shi led the army to rush into the Chu family and broke Lang Jun's legs...... Why not? ! ”
"Don't make a fuss." The chamberlain bowed his head slightly, then turned back.
"Niangniang......" The housekeeper wiped her tears, feeling that the queen mother was afraid that she was not driven crazy by the lonely life in the harem, so she ignored the Chu family.
"There is also Uncle Guo, a certain uncle begging Uncle Guo to go."
In the palace at this moment, Zhao Qianyu spread out a piece of paper, grinded the ink on the dog's legs, and then handed over the brush.
"Niangniang, whose words are you going to write?"
Empress Dowager Cao took the brush, thought for a while, and said: "Su Shi's words are magnificent, and the old body feels broad-minded every time he reads it. You are still young, you have to raise some of this kind of heroic spirit, the old body will write a poem of Su Shi for you, and remember that the woman's family must also be strong in the future......"
"Good!"
Empress Dowager Cao is more and more talking, and the two most precious women in the palace can't put down Su Shi's poems and articles, which can be called fans......
……
The housekeeper of the Chu family went all the way to Cao's house and learned that Cao Tong was in for a treat today. He asked for the address of the restaurant and went straight to it.
After arriving at the restaurant, he learned to be more obedient this time, and did not go directly to ask for help, but after hearing that Cao Tong was on the second floor, he booked an adjacent private room and quietly went up to the second floor.
Cao Tong was standing outside the door of a room on the second floor, talking to a servant.
“…… What does Anbei say? ”
Isn't Anbei Shen An?
The butler entered the room and listened carefully.
"Shen Jungong's sister is a little unwell, and he said that he was going to come late."
The housekeeper shook his head, thinking to himself what kind of sister is, and he actually used this as an excuse to snub Uncle Guo, Uncle Guo would be unhappy, right?
It's good to be unhappy, and there will be a reason to cry later.
"Guoguo?" Cao Tong frowned and said, "Is there a big problem?" ”
"I said I was cutting vegetables in the kitchen, and I hurt my hand, so it's fine."
Burst!
The butler almost burst out laughing.
The sister of the richest man in the Great Song Dynasty actually went to the kitchen...... It can be seen that Shen An's tutor is poor.
But the daughter of a big family has to know how to needlework, but only to know.
As for cooking, the most important thing is to cut the dishes, and they will point them out on the side, or pile them up. Chop the vegetables yourself...... Hehe!
Therefore, the housekeeper was very disdainful, thinking that Shen An taught his sister like this, and the marriage in the future would be difficult.
"What a good boy Guoguo! What to cook? Anbei is too demanding. ”
"Could it be that Guoguo can't cook, and the future husband's family will dare to dislike it? Then a certain smashed a few cooks, and asked how many people there are in his family, and one cook is satisfied with serving the other? ”
The housekeeper couldn't help but be stunned, thinking to himself how that Guoguo had such a big face and let Uncle Guo say such cruel words.
The housekeeper ordered a few dishes, as well as a pot of wine, and ate it slowly alone.
Later in the evening there were footsteps outside.
"I'm snubbing Uncle Guo."
This is Shen An, right?
The butler put down the dishes and chopsticks, walked to the door and listened.
"How's Guoguo?"
"It's okay, I want to cut vegetables again after I have taken care of the wound, but I stopped it."
Then it's time to serve.
The butler walked over to the partition of the two rooms and put his ear on it.
"The money for this exemption was proposed by the king, but I remember that you said about it a few years ago, saying that the people are too hard to serve, and they must find a way to lift it."
"The people of the Great Song Dynasty are too bitter." Shen An said: "The powerful and gentry are high, and no one pays attention to those poor people. They are chattering now, but Uncle Guo thinks about those times when the war was raging, what powerful and wealthy gentry became ants in the hands of the people...... Killing at that time was reincarnation...... Therefore, the powerful and gentry must not feel that they are gods, otherwise sooner or later they will have a bad day. ”
"So you keep donating?"
"yes!" Shen An said: "What are you doing with so much money? Do you count the rich people in history, how many generations can their wealth be passed on? Even the most powerful gate valve is now gone. What about the money? Where did it go? Either they went to the grave to be buried, or they became someone else's property. Therefore, if you want your children and grandchildren to live well, it is best to teach them the way of self-improvement, otherwise the more money you keep, the more unlucky your children and grandchildren will be. ”
"The more burials you have in the grave, the more you will attract the covetousness of the tomb robbers, and eventually the bones will be violently outside the coffin."
"Leave countless money to your children and grandchildren, but if your children and grandchildren don't have the determination and ability, those money will become the source of their ruined family......"
The next door was silent for a moment, and Cao Yan's voice came, "Anbei Gaojian." After thinking about it, the Cao family is exactly like this! When the ancestors were the ancestors, the Cao family was prominent for a while, and then gradually depressed. Next generation...... The next generation is not much better, if it weren't for you and the king to help, the Cao family would have been unknown to everyone now......"
The Cao family turned out to be pulled up by Shen An and the king?
The butler next door only felt cold.
That's not right!
……
The first one is sent and asks for a monthly pass.
